Troubles Transferring Old Vhs Tapes To My Comp

[taytay3]

Ok so at first, my computer wasn't recognizing any connection to my VHS player at all. I then realized that i needed to install another driver from the CD. I did this and it recognized that there was a connection, but when i went to the capture video menu and selected the device, it would say no signal. I tried to turn off the VHS, unplug it, power back on, restart computer, but now my computer doesnt even recognize its plugged in again!!!!

 

Help

sorry i meant video capture mode

 

i am using roxio creator 2009, with roxio video capture usb.

 

I am not sure what the device is called, but it is made by roxio

 

they are connect using composite on one end and i think mini usb on the other. It then plugs into a card which turns it into regular usb

Is Composite selected in the Input dropdown box of Media Import?

Is Composite selected in the Input dropdown box of Media Import?

 

 

 

my computer isnt even registering the VCR at all so now when i go to media import it only finds my webcam

Open the Media Import program. Above the preview screen is the dropdown box that has the word Input beside it.

i cant seem to find the input selection

 

it probably wont let me go to this because it isnt recognizing the VCR?

You first have to select the correct input then it will see the VCR.

It is the DEVICE that has to be seen!

 

Mine will not work if I plug into the USB port on the front of my PC. It only works when connected to the USB receptacles in the back of the PC.

 

Of course it has to be USB2, won't work with a USB (1) at all…

 

When connected, you must select the USB 2861 Device for the source in Media Import and set the Input to Composite or S-Video, depending on which one you are using.

 

 

It will also work in Windows Movie Maker. So if you don't see it in either one, something is wrong and that is the direction we need to go.
